    3. I wasn't going to report them to anyone, Joan. I was referring to the spam button.

I've been deleting them, but now I'm wondering...if I do this, do they get reported by spam? Vicki --- Vicki- And where would you report them? The FROM addresses are forged and unless you are adept at reading the full headers you wouldn't know where to report them. Even so, you really can't tell the specific sender with the infected computer. You may have the originating IP address and the domain from which the message actually originated and, if so, they probably could (if they would take time to do it) locate the person who was assigned the IP address at the time the worm sent out the zombie spam. But most ISPs probably wouldn't bother doing anything if you did report it to them. I have seldom gotten a response when I've contacted the ISP of a worm infected user. So deleting the garbage is probably the best option.
